Ask HN: People who use different emails everywhere, who sold you to spammers?

I've heard a lot about people who have catch-all email accounts and subscribe a different address to each service. So, these people may have a nice idea of who sold or leaked their email addresses based on the spam they are getting. Are you one of these people? Can you name your spammers? As a side note, I have a friend from not-US who by mistake used a special address only for this country's IRS equivalent (he had something like "unit 12A" instead of just "unit 12"), and he would occasionally get physical spam to that address. I remembered that, then decided to ask this.
